Ezekiel 16:54-63 Common English Bible (CEB)

54. so that you will bear your disgrace and be humiliated by all that you’ve done to make them feel better.

55. Then your sister Sodom and her daughters will return to their former state, and your sister Samaria and her daughters will return to their former state. You and your daughters will return to your former state,

56. but you will no longer talk about your sister Sodom as in your haughty days

57. before your wickedness was exposed. You are now the reproach of all the daughters of Edom and all those around her, including the daughters of the Philistines. They mock you on every side.

58. You alone must bear your bad reputation and your detestable ways. This is what the Lord says.

59. The Lord God proclaims: I will do to you just as you have done, despising solemn pledges and breaking covenants.

60. Nevertheless, I will remember my covenant with you when you were young, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

61. And you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when in spite of your covenant I take your big sisters and little sisters from you and give them back to you as daughters.

62. I myself will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the Lord.

63. Then you will remember and be ashamed, and you won’t even open your mouth because of your shame, after I’ve forgiven you for all that you’ve done. This is what the Lord God says.
